Where this comes from
The official form is published by immi.homeaffairs.gov.au; this page is a completion guide. Last checked on 2026-10-22.
When to use it

Used for these tasks
- Complete Form 80 personal particulars from the client's passport and travel history
- Draft the advance explanation and written consent before Form 80 answers are entered into an AI tool
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
Yellow. A tool may compare a working note with the current official form and list what is missing. The lawyer downloads the form, completes it and lodges it.
AI may
- List the facts and documents the official page says to have ready.
- Compare a working checklist with the current downloaded form and mark gaps.
- Prepare a filing note that quotes only what the official page says.
AI must not
- Do not copy the official form into a new document or file a retyped version.
- Do not invent a form number, fee, time limit or rule that is not on the official page.
- Do not draft, settle or sign an affidavit, statutory declaration or other sworn evidence.
- Do not lodge the form or tell the client it has been filed.
The lawyer checks
- The character page names Form 80 and links this PDF.
- The PDF says it is completed in English by applicants who are 16 or over, when the processing office asks for it.
- Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader, or print it and use block letters, as the PDF says.
- The pages read cover identity, other names, citizenship, passports and identity documents. Later parts were not read. Use the current PDF for those.
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
